Human ~~ Jasper Whitlock - Hale ~~~

04

I wake up to Alice staring at me very creepily. She pulls me out of bed and shoves me into the bathroom wth a pile of clothes. I groan in misery as I lay the clothes on the sink. I start shower water before stepping under the calming water.

Alice blow dried my hair while I am wrapped in only a black towel. She brushes put the tangles and leaves it in its natural wave. I decide it is about time I put my school clothes on. I smile in satisfaction at Alice's outfit choice for me. She is in her usual gory ensemble while I look badass. Maybe Jasper will be back and like me for once.

Alice drives me to school after an hour. Jasper is sitting on the hood of his car, waiting for us probably.

"There you two are." Jasper jokes. "Emmett says you stayed at Penelope's house, how was it?"

"Fun!" Alice chirps. "Her mom loves me."

Jasper takes in my outfit and he smirks. "I love the badass look. Keep up the black, it goes with you, my beautiful."

Jasper and I loop arms and he leads the way to history. Alice gasps at Jasper's friendliness towards me, I'm guessing I am his mate. I haven't really read into blood singers, I might look it up tonight.

"Do you like history?" Jasper asks.

I nod. "Yes, I love it. It's my favorite subject, actually."

Jasper nods his head in approval and he kisses my hand. I am his mate! I giggle at his attempt to flirt and he gasps in a phony hurt. I pat his head and I face the front when the teacher enters the room.

Jasper walks me to lunch free biology. We sits next to me, he knows I know the secret. He has told me I am his mate and blood singer. I just have to look up blood singer tonight. Rosalie seems pleased with Jasper's change of personality.

"Jas, you seem happier." Rosalie smirks.

He kisses my cheek. "I am."

I blush deeply when Alice pinches my cheeks.

"You rock the black." Emmett compliments.

"I agree." Rosalie smiles at me. "I will bring you shopping. Tomorrow, after school. Dress badass again, I like it."

Jasper sighs and he sits back. "I like having another badass at the table, besides me and Rose."

Emmett and Jasper high five before I finish eating. I smile as Jasper lets me up. I walk to the trash and with Alice and her full tray. We take our seats and begin chatting again.

After school, Rosalie drives me home this time. She meets my mom, who appears weak.

"Baby, where is a doctor nearby?"

"My adopted dad is a doctor." Rosalie says. "Come on, I'll drive."

I help my mom up and I walk her out to Rosalie's car. I fasten her seatbelt and I slide into the front seat. We get to their beautiful home and Rosalie carries my mom inside. I am thankful for these guys.

"Penelope, what's wrong with your mom?" Alice asks as she opens the door for me.

"She was weak and Rosalie went in my home." I reply.

We walk upstairs and watch Carlisle run some tests on my mom. My dad walks in with a panicked look.

"Has it come back?" He demands to Carlisle.

"Has what come back?" I demand.

Dad looks at me with ready eyes when Carlisle says yes. "Cancer."

I gasp and I back into someone. By the intake of air, I know it's Jasper. I take it he senses my depression and he holds me. Dad sighs and he sits beside my mom.

"If anything happens, we can adopt her, mr Peterson." Carlisle says softly.

"Alright, when she dies, you can adopt Penelope." Dad breathes out.

Jasper walks me out of the room and down to the fireplace. He lights the fire and throws a quilt over me. I begin to sob at the thoughts of my mom dying. Jasper sits with me and he holds me closely to his cold body.

"We will watch over you. Rosalie has went to fetch you an outfit for school tomorrow." Jasper whispers.

I nod. "I'm glad I'm tired mate."

Jasper sighs and he rests his chin on the top of my head. He rubs my back in small circles. The fire heats me up and I fall asleep on Jasper's arms.
